For Guys & Girls...Domestic violence can be defined generally as "a pattern of assault and/or coercive behaviors, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, as well as economic coercion, that adults use against their intimate partners to gain power and control in that relationship. Research shows that even when children are not the direct targets of violence in the home, they can be harmed b
y witnessing the occurrence of such violence. The witnessing of domestic violence can be auditory, visual, or inferred, including cases in which the child witnesses the aftermath of violence, such as cuts, bruises, or broken limbs. Children who witness domestic violence can suffer severe emotional and developmental difficulties similar to children who are the direct victims of abuse. Please share this page.... as my goal is to help those who have also been or are being abused. People can share their own stories and that also helps
everyone!! Share your story of survival and hope with our community. Leave a comment on a post if you would like.
